I guess I have been use to +P's, for the longest. And, the Hydra-Shok is real old in design. However, it does have a good history.

With the price of ammunition these days, I shouldn't be picky.

I gave this guy some Royal Purple motor oil a while back. 5-30 works for his truck. My Crown Vic wants 5-20 these days, so I just gave him the oil.

He did some work at a gun store, and took payment via ammunition. He gave me a box (50) of the Hydra-Shoks in return.

Interestingly enough, he said that the gun store, won't even sell ammunition these days, without a purchase of a pistol, rifle, or shotgun.

Yeah, many of us have gotten rather used to using +P & +P+ loads over the years, huh? We were using standard pressure 147gr loads for many years (including the Hydra-Shock for a bit) before we eventually changed over to 127gr +P+ and then one of the common 124gr +P loads.

I'd not lose sleep over carrying it. It might not consistently expand as robustly as some other new bullet designs, under some conditions, but what's new, right? If a nose cavity plugs with heavy cloth, it can become a bit dicey.

The price was right, at any rate.

The retail/commercial price of ammo nowadays can be pretty incredible. Of course, even the contract/bid pricing LE/Gov can sometimes get has risen quite a bit, too.
